Bomb scare delays train

By Our Staff Reporter

BANGALORE, MAY 15. Passengers of the Bangalore-Mumbai Udyan Express spent anxious moments on Saturday when a call was received that a bomb had been planted on the train. However, the call turned out to be a hoax. The departure of the train was delayed by about two hours.

The train was scheduled to depart from the City Railway Station at 8 p.m. when the railway police got an anonymous call saying that a bomb had been planted in coaches S1 and S6.

The police made the people alight from the train and thoroughly checked all the coaches with the help of dog squad.

The anti-sabotage squad, armed with the paraphernalia to defuse bombs, too helped the police.

The train departed after the squad certified that there was no bomb in the train.
